Terrazzo Floor Polishing & Restoration - Boston Metro Area
Shine That Lasts for Years
Terrazzo floors are stunning when maintained—and frustrating when they lose their shine. Chips, dullness, stains, and worn patterns can make even premium terrazzo look tired. At Pinnacle Stone, we specialize in restoring the clarity, brightness, and smooth elegance terrazzo is known for. Whether your floor is vintage, poured-in-place, or tile-based terrazzo, we bring out its best beauty with the right method—not shortcuts.
Why Terrazzo Needs Professional Restoration
Terrazzo is a composite surface made with marble chips, binders, and pigments. Over time, foot traffic, cleaning chemicals, and moisture wear it down, causing loss of shine and exposing imperfections. DIY cleaning can worsen the problem. Our trained technicians understand the structure of terrazzo and restore it safely using diamond abrasives, high-grade polishers, and professional sealers.
Our Terrazzo Restoration Process
We follow a clean, methodical process to revive terrazzo without damaging its matrix or aggregates:
Deep Cleaning & Surface Prep
We remove soils, residues, old waxes/coatings, and embedded grime to expose the real condition of the floor.
Damage Repair & Chip Filling
Diamond Grinding & Honing
High-Gloss / Satin Polishing
Based on your preference, we polish the floor to a mirror-like gloss or a soft, satin sheen. No topical waxes involved—only true mechanical polishing.
Sealing & Finish Protection
We apply a premium penetrating sealer to reduce staining and simplify daily care.
Did You Know?
- Terrazzo can last 100+ years when properly maintained.
- Many terrazzo floors lose shine only due to old wax buildup, not actual damage.
